Research summary

Mariel L. Schroeder's research uses a brain-imaging method called high-density diffuse optical tomography (HD-DOT), which measures brain activity by shining light through the scalp to track blood flow changes, similar in spirit to fMRI but more portable. Her work focuses on mapping brain function during naturalistic tasks like watching movies, producing language, and perceiving motion, in both adults and children, including autistic children and those with developmental language disorders. She also develops machine-learning methods to decode what a person is seeing or doing from their brain activity patterns.
